and a second possibility is to bring this question (what is the
functional programming paradigm) back to school/university. It seems a
bit odd, when your educational insitute gives you homework that leads to
functional programming but doesn't discuss the why and when.

Would be sad education where you have to work on how you can "do
something just another way" for school but find out the why on your
own with google.

Christopher, was this homework given in a class, that will explore
functional programming or was it just for additional work ala "We know
how to do it obvious, now try it nonobviously"? Just curious.
